Tactical Xactimate TrainingPrinciples of Adjuster Estimatics

Xactimate, created by Verisk, is the industry’s most popular claims adjusting software. Adjusters no longer have to write claims by hand, reference pricing books, and use calculators to perform a complete estimate. The Xactimate platform has automated most of those tasks, enabling the adjuster to perform inspections and adjustments much faster.

The software was designed specifically for construction professionals, restoration specialists, and claims adjusters. Xactimate helps adjusters:

• Save time and money in creating estimates
• Create more accurate, detailed, and professional-looking estimates
• Access the most up-to-date and reliable pricing information
• Sketch complicated roofs, rooms, layouts, and structures
• Automate and streamline your estimating processes
• Organize and manage your projects
• Overcome language barriers in preparing estimates

We’ve trained tens of thousands of adjusters over the last decade, and it’s become clear that proficiency in Xactimate is the single most important technical skill a new adjuster must acquire. In fact, “are you familiar with Xactimate?” is one of the most frequently asked questions in interviews and on applications. Knowing your way around the software not only sets you ahead of the curve in the employment line, it means you can get to work adjusting claims immediately once you’re deployed. You’ll be able to work through inspections and adjustments faster and with more accuracy, which is truly money in your pocket.

The Xactimate User Certification program, offered solely by Verisk, provides a controlled exam to independently verify your product knowledge and proficiency. There are three levels of certification: Level 1 – Fundamentals, Level 2 – Proficiency, and Level 3 – Mastery. Each level increases in difficulty and is considered a prerequisite for the next level. Details on how to become certified are available on the Xactimate Training Website.

While official Xactimate Certification is only available through Verisk, the AdjusterPro Course will help prepare you for the Level 1 exam should you choose to pursue certification. It’s also worth noting that most employers want to know whether you have a working knowledge of how to write a claim in Xactimate, so make sure and include the AdjusterPro Tactical Xactimate Training on your resumes and job applications.

Our webinar uses a program called GoToTraining which allows you to hear the instructor and view their screen as they perform tasks in Xactimate. As a student, you will follow along and perform the same tasks in your free 30-day trial of Xactimate. You can ask questions live through the GoTo chat feature. After you master each task, the instructor proceeds to the next. Using this method, we lead you step-by-step through the entire process of writing an estimate. Our fantastic trainer will make sure and address all questions by the end of the session. 

Unfortunately, no. Xactimate and other Verisk products are not supported on MacOS Operating Systems. This means if you have a device that uses the MacOS operating system (mainly Apple desktop and Apple laptop computers), the Xactimate software will not be compatible or useable on that computer. Xactimate does work on most other desktops and laptops that use the Windows operating system. We do recommend you take our course on a windows-based computer as that is what our instructor, as well as most employers, will be using to operate Xactimate.

Absolutely! We are so lucky to have Nadine Bisson and Matt Daniels teaching our Tactical Xactimate Training Webinar. Nadine has been an independent adjuster since 2008 and is an expert in the claims field. She’s handled hundreds, maybe thousands of claims using Xactimate and knows the program inside and out.

Matt has been adjusting claims since 2014, and has worked with Xactimate as both an adjuster and a licensed contractor.

Most importantly, Nadine and Matt are excellent trainers. Throughout your course, they will answer all of your questions and take time to make sure that you’re comfortable with the material.
